Girl from nowhere? Nah
Before we start, yes there are indeed similarities between GFN and this drama however at the same they are quite different from one another in terms of plot. Each episode is a continuous storyline so not to worry about having a different plot in each episode.Story;
The story.., ah how to describe, I wouldn't say predictable but for me it lacked a little something but that's just my preference maybe because I have watched a lot of thrillers. Some scenes are creepy but nothing too heavy or any jump scares so don't be scared! It did feel very short though I hope they added some elements into it because It did make me want to watch the next episode immediately.
Acting;
Loved it. Nothing too much or unnatural, everyone played their part well.
Music;
I FUCKING LOVED THE TRACK
Incase anyone needs it, its 断面 by Dios.
Overall, just go for it. Its just 23 mins long, 7 episodes; good for a late night watch if you're bored.

Open your damn eyes please!!
(Only minor spoiler) All the BL fans here rating it 9 and 10,, I just–don't get how?
The storyline was such a mess. Characters weren't even properly contructed, it was like too many things coming together but making nothing out of it? Unnatural. Yes, that's the word.
I had such high expectations after seeing all the reviews but man, sorry to say but such low standards guys really!
The cringe was real and the ml Jin Won was really living on just one braincell.
The flashbacks and episodes were so confusing, atleast for me and most of time I was just wondering, "why the f*ck do we need that situation?"
Like the whole loan shark case really disturbed the show for me. I didn't feel anything for that angst. And again, Jin Won really made me frustrated like boi Sang Ha told you his whole life story but in the end again you still stayed dependent on that one braincell of yours rather than paying attention.
They could've just developed a sweet fluffy genre of the drama and it would easily cross more than 8 stars but sigh..really poorly written. Just cuz it's a BL, it doesn't have to 'SO AMAZING AND CUTE', I hardly could bare watching those 8 episodes of 10 minutes. So, yea, please consider the plot and background too!

AN AMAZING RIDE
This is such a huge level up for korean bls!!No awkwardness, smooth acting and carried out the plot perfectly with matching music. The chemistry is amazing!
Honestly, I am always a little uncertain of watching korean bls because they don't often reach my expectations, however, Sematic Error really made such high standards. Definitely one of my favourite bls in no time without any doubt. The kiss and skin-ship was all amazing; nothing too excessive or weird! Sweet interactions and all actors did amazing!!
Go for it, it's fun and worth it! Wish we got longer episodes to be honest and as someone who read the webtoon too, it would've been amazing to see more scenes from there but either way, carried out nicely.

Good approach and then nothing really
Okie so, I have read the webtoon upto 80 chapters (I think) then I dropped it because the story was literally becoming so dumb. Always stretching the same scenarios and then back to square one! (I WAS FRUSTRATED)I became sucha big fan when I first started it and now to go back there I think it was mainly because of the art style? Because the drawings were really attractive (still are) and I'm sure, many people got involved because of that. However right now, if I were to read it again from the start I would probably die out of cringe.
With that being said, I was still excited for this adaptation- Moon Ga-Young is one of the actresses I enjoy watching. Honestly, never expected much from Cha Eun-Woo's side. I've seen mostly all the pieces he have acted in and yes, he doesn't have many expressions.
His crying scenes were really bad!! No emotion whatsoever in his eyes. It's the same damn gaze always- hurt, jealousy, joy, anger..it is all the same? As compared to him, Hwang In-Yeop did a better job atleast. I haven't watched him in anything before but needless to say, he is with no doubt better and definately adds the flavours in the drama.
As for the storyline, it's okay-ish type when you're bored--looking for a light rom-com watch but right now while this drama is ongoing- it's especially really annoying at points and the events...where's the progress ugh?!
I found the scene of Su-Ho pushing Ju-Kyeong away, labelling helping and comforting her out of pity SO SO ridiculous? I mean wtf? And then, the next day you're already chasing her back and she's okay with all that?? Like fuck off--atleast explain that please iidbxkdk
Damn anyways, I still stay up around 2am to watch this drama (that's around the time when the new ep gets subbed usually), and I really really enjoy some of the situations. It's a good laugh I'd say but if you were to dig deep, it's nothing special.
The music though is a MOOD. 10/10
Edit: Update since I've watched 10 episodes now and um, what was that scene in the end where Suho was stuck in nowhere when him and Seojun got hit by the car?? T-T
Also, they're doing Seojun so dirty jxbsjc like he doesn't even seem like a second lead anymore when a large amount of audience is watching because of him *heartbreak* It's already 10 episodes and I dont think Jugyeong's going to like Seojun romantically anywhere now,, whatever man ughh
Alright, new EDIT: I am dropping this title! It IS surely better than the webtoon but not the best with all the cringe still there so ye, maybe will pick it up again when I am down sometime but for now I dont think I can indulge myself into watching something I genuinely dont feel interested in even if it's breaking records *sighs* byebye!!

My first lesbian drama I guess?
So, yes, as I mentioned—this is my first lesbian drama. I've watched gay dramas before but lesbian was a first and this looked pretty decent so I wanted to gave a try.Well, now, where to start..the storyline was nothing much, just okay–ish I guess(?) There wasn't any incest here because their parents haven't yet registered their marriage yet but somehow it was still odd to watch this plot.
At some point, I felt like the girls were a little selfish because their parents fell for eachother first and wanted to have a nice family but the girls kept doing all the stuff in secret when they didn't even knew how things would end up for them and for their parents. I just felt a little uncomfortable I suppose.
Yui was shown as mature and I mean she should be the mature one but I guess since it was the first time she ever felt this way, she was confused and lost as well because she herself said that she don't do if she likes both men and women.
Apart from this, the first kiss was really..um weird? Like girl just out of nowhere kissed her supposedly step-sister who was pissed at her?? T-T
Sigh, moving on, the acting was pretty well done I'd say. I really liked Nao's character too. Poor guy.
I don't really remember the music much since I watched on 2x speed most of the episodes. It was decent and calm I think.
About rewatching it, I prolly won't but it's not too bad. Again all of this my own review and I do not intend to hurt anyone's feelings with this.
Byebye :3

A GEM ! but note the flaws
I said what I had to!This drama is a literal gem. I totally loved all the scenes from the beginning till the very end.
I personally have never read the webtoon, though actually at some point while this drama was still going on—I did wanted to check it out but then I just figured out I can do that after this ends.
Well, not gonna lie, I did had it on hold for a week, guess I just had read too many comments here marking it as "overrated", "boring" and all so I think that got on me and I actually spent that week thinking why do I actually like the drama?
For the plot, I'd say it's not something brand new but it's not common either. It was pretty decent and likeable. The cast was AMAZING!! The acting—each and every actor did a very good job. Music was sweet too and I would, no doubt rewatch it again whenever I would seek this thrill again.
Also, as for the people looking for romance..guys, you won't even be needing romance in this freaking series. Although it does have a few cute moments of the two counters here and there and they're just the right amount believe me—so they don't overdo it since OCN doesn't focus on that.
Apart from that, the last episode was damn refreshing to see everything back at it's place.
Give it a try, you won't regret it. :)
Edit: I wanted to write the flaws I found too—firstly, the plot doesn't answer many unanswered questions. As the season ended I realised this *sigh* It could have been much BETTER ngl. But as we say, nothing's perfect but this drama sures keeps you waiting with all the cliffhangers!
